How 5 Digital Assistants Use Your Data

This article provides useful and sobering information about how the digital assistants Siri, Cortana, Amazon Alexa, Facebook M, and Goole Now use your data. The article highlights the privacy and security features of these digital assistants; for example: By using Siri, Apple adds, you agree to allow Apple and its subsidiaries and agents to transmit, collect, maintain, process, and use your voice input and user data. Amazon Alexa saves your voice recordings, but you can erase them via your personal settings. As we move increasingly in the direction of voice-activated applications such as search, and voice-to-text, we need to consider carefully the new personal metadata footprints and trails that we generate.
